Classic journal prompts

The traditional kind, the ones diaries have asked for ages: a letter to yourself, a look back, a look ahead.

You could write a short letter to yourself a year ago, or a year from now, whichever feels easier.

Dear me

Maybe describe a day from this year you'd happily live again.

Looking back

Perhaps list three things you're looking forward to, however far off they are.

Looking ahead

A list of ten things you know how to do, big or small.

Lists

You might name one thing you'd like to get done soon, and the very first small step towards it.

Goals and plans

Or finish this sentence a few different ways: "Right now I'm..."

Who I am right now

A prompt with a page of its own

If you'd like to go further

A plain notebook is every bit as welcome. Nothing here needs buying.
